Flying by the Seat of My Pants

A 209-day NICU veteran, Nik is living proof that time, love, education, and patience pay off. He still has many challenges but he meets them head on. Nik kicks ass and takes names in life! He’s taught us much in his short little life.

Loving wife to Niksdad. The love of my life, he is a great partner in raising our miracle boy.

Great post on restraint. I tried to leave a comment but couldn’t so will leave it here. Legislation has tightened behavior plans and a plan must be written on the IEP for any aversive therapy but most teachers in the field don’t know that this means removing a child from the classroom, removing them from the activities in the classroom even if only in a time-out space in the back of the room, and any other negative treatment. I love teaching my behavior courses the best and am really, really glad that you are sharing this. All of my students made calls and sent emails on this issue. Good work Niksmom! Thank you!

Hi, this is Laurynne from the Dover Home Depot. I am having trouble finding your contact info from last year, but we would love to have you visit again with our management team in an effort to make everyone informed for April’s Autism Awareness campaign. Please let us know if you are interested in speaking to our group again; it certainly had an impact on us last year… I’ve been following your blog since. 302-735-8864… if I’m not around, ask for Angie or Murray. :) We look forward to hearing from you! And sorry for the improper use of your comments box. :) I do love the blog!!!
